Been to ND a couple of times. Was at the SC game and camped at Lineman's Challenge last summer so Rudolph's seen him up close.

Has been to Mich St a bunch.

Just dying to throw a CB today. This feels like it's ND over the field right now and that's good enough for me.

Same. If he goes Irish I'd like to check out a higher profile game

Not a 4*+? Don’t want

Sparty offer.

At 325lb already, he has the size to start early. Just need to refine that weight a little.

One of a handful of notables who picked up OSU today

 

[BobbyMac]

Got the offer from OSU and came to ND the next day to just hang out with Rudolph and watch some workouts.

Solid CB

[GrangerIrish24]

Hes looking toward Bama and away from ND. Its over.

If you look closely he's turning to spit on the logo while he walks to ND

 

[PolishDomer]

ND is the highest logo at the top so we must be #1

 

[laughingirish90]

should we be shocked no scUM on that list or is he just not a fan of them

Must not be a schematic fit.

No offer

Completely random, Davison High School has/had a fantastic wrestling program.

Are you saying Ben doesn't like cheaters?

Cheers and Go Irish!!

 

[Cpnd1]

All the Michigan OL??

All the Michigan OL??

I'd love it. Gregory Patrick looks like he'd be a tougher win, though.

Still, Garvin and Nichols with Merrill (PA) is a great core of OL for the class. I hope Haseotes is a take because I like what he could do at center.

Fellas, did you get to see him?

 

[dublinirish]

yeah wrestling quite strong here in Genesee county tbf and north Oakland too. Davison had a bit of an emergence few years back with Brendan Sullivan at QB (formerly NW and now at Iowa). Lot of drama though locally there as a bunch of kids transferred in there from other schools just to play football and there was bad blood around that Davison coaches were recruiting from rivals.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Kyle Kelly (On3) has been pretty dialed in with Nichols' recruitment since the beginning. He said he's not moving off of his prediction he put in for ND three months ago.

Got 2 quiet crystal balls today for ND from Loy and Truie. This one is ova

If not for nothing we've mastered the recruitment of 4* OL

 

[NDFAN2008]

Can we get someone who can recruit WR’s as good as we recruit OL
